"So many," the 23-year-old began. "Doughnuts and chicken wings." Dyer, 30, hopped in and complimented the chocolate chip cookies that were provided by catering on set. "It always starts off, like, healthy, and people try, and then by like month six, it's like, 'Here's your Danimal,'" added Wolfhard.

Wolfhard recalled a notable food moment from when he was 13 during Lent, which starts on Ash Wednesday and lasts for 40 days leading up to Easter. When asked, Wolfhard informed a crew member that he's giving up sugar, to which they replied, "Bull----," which ultimately was an astute response given that 30 minutes later the then-teen was eating sour Skittles.

Strange Things saga is coming to a close, and its executive producer and director, Shawn Levy, is calling the season's eighth and final episode a "masterpiece," in which fans can expect "outcomes that are deeply satisfying, but many of which are completely surprising."

"I just want to assure all of the people around the world who have walked the long road with us for nearly a decade, this finale is what you've been waiting for," said Levy in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. "It is both informationally satisfying, but most importantly, profoundly emotionally satisfying."

Volumes 1 and 2 of Stranger Things season 5 are streaming now on Netflix. The finale premieres on Dec. 31 at 8 p.m. ET.
